HBMP()

[Walt Decker]

the drawbmp() function creates a memory bitmap from the video hardware.

What kind of bitmap does it create,

one from createbitmap(),

createcompatiblebitmap(),

createdibsetion()

createdibitmap()

or is the handle returned from HBMP()

a DC(device context) or

the result of a selectobject() operation?

The CreateDIBitmap function is used in the Smalltalk libraries when loading a bitmap into memory.  Is that the scenario you are working with, loading from a file?

Mr. Gundel, I mis-wrote. That should be getbmp() function. I am trying to figure out how to write directly to the memory bitmap created.

But now that I know what kind of memory bitmap is created by LOADBMP() I assume the getbmp() creates the same type and should be able to come up with something to write directly to it.
